Nearly six in 10 superintendents in New York said their schools are safer today than they were a year ago after the Newtown school shootings, according to a survey by the state School Boards Association released today.

Fifty-nine percent of superintendents who responded to the survey said they believed their schools were “more safe” than they were a year ago. The one-year anniversary for the school shootings is Saturday.

Another 40 percent said their districts were equally as safe as they were one year ago, and less than one percent said their schools were less safe.
